A new upscale members-only club just opened in the City of Angels. Launched by fitness and lifestyle company RSG Group , which also owns Gold’s Gym, Heimat is a first-of-its-kind fitness and wellness concept where you can work, play, eat and socialize. It spans a massive 75,000 square feet spread over five floors, and offers members everything from fitness classes and coworking space, as well as a spa, rooftop pool and a restaurant helmed by Michelin-star chef Michael Mina .
The club is set in a 1930s industrial building located in Hollywood’s Media District that’s been renovated and decorated with eye-catching graffiti by the artist Mr. Brainwash . Two design firms were tapped to make Heimat into a versatile concept space.
Germany-based design studio Inco focused on floors one through three that cater to all of your fitness needs, while the renowned Martin Brudnizki Design Studio worked on floors four and five that feature the club’s dining and ‘Clubhouse’ areas.

The space is populated with vintage furniture, colorful wallpaper and wood paneling.
RSG Group even commissioned murals by other emerging artists, including Albert Macias and Jessalyn Brooks, to evoke LA’s free-spirited nature in the space. Upon arriving, the club’s “Living Room”—reminiscent of a lofty residence with a check-in station, juice bar and comfortable couches—will welcome you. After checking in, a discreet entryway will lead you to a 7,000 square-foot free weight training room or a slew of spaces for group classes or a cycling studio.

Whereas most gyms connect with their members by preaching sacrifice and discipline to reach their goals, Heimat takes a more holistic approach,” says Sebastian Schoepe, president and CEO of RSG Group North America in a statement. To join the club, you must be 21 and over. Its all-access membership will run you $350 a month.
